I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at National Instruments (Austin, TX)
Interview
Applied on their website Careers section. The HR called a few days later, asked for my GPA and other usual questions (salary, relocation, etc) and told me that a technical guy would contact me later for a phone screen. A senior technical lead asked me for a 45 minute phone interview availability and scheduled it.
The HR and the lead told me that they were interviewing for multiple positions and did not give any info about the team. The 45 minute interview was split like this.
5 minute intro and 2 questions each of 20 minutes.
Never heard anything from any of them after that. I sent a follow-up mail, a week later and no reply.

The hiring process at NI company is somewhat legendary.

Interview
I had a phone interview which was not much different than other phone interviews posted here. They asked me about the hardest or most tricky bug I had encountered. The interviewer seemed genuinely interested in the story I told about my bug which was cool. Then they asked two programming questions about shuffling and averaging a binary tree. They requested C++ be used to solve the problem. I wrote code and read it to them on paper, talking through the code as I wrote it.

I didn't have any issues understanding my interviewer over the phone, which was nice.
